Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is reportedly ready to snub a move to Saudi Arabia in the summer transfer window.
Kevin De Bruyne has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League, where he could have pocketed £1 million-a-week wages. However, a report by Daily Star has claimed that the 33-year-old has chosen to stay at Manchester City despite the money on offer.
Al-Ittihad are keen on signing the veteran playmaker. But the Manchester City talisman wants his family to remain settled in the north-west of England. The Belgian international midfielder is one of the best players in the world, and he has helped Manchester City win several trophies.
Kevin De Bruyne’s departure would weaken them severely, and the Premier League champions must do everything in their power to keep him at the club for as long as possible.
Kevin De Bruyne should look to continue in the Premier League
The 33-year-old is still good enough to play at the highest level, and he will be a key player for Manchester City in the upcoming season as well. The Belgian midfielder should look to continue in the Premier League and compete at an elite level. He will have plenty of opportunities to move to Saudi Arabia or the MLS in the near future.
Manchester City must keep their best players if they want to compete with the European elite, and retaining Kevin De Bruyne’s services will be crucial to achieving their ambitions. The fact that the midfielder wants to continue with the defending champions despite being offered £1 million-a-week wages in Saudi Arabia will come as a major boost for Manchester City and their fans.
Saudi Arabian clubs have done well to sign several word-class players in recent years, and they will look to boost the profile of the league further by signing the Belgian international in the near future. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. For now, it seems that the Manchester City midfielder will continue in the Premier League.
Manchester City managed to win the league title last season, and Kevin De Bruyne was instrumental in their title charge during the second half of the season. He will look to guide them to major trophies in the upcoming campaign as well.
